I’m having trouble coming up with specific examples, although I’m pretty sure Carl Kolchak took the Monorail to work in THE NIGHT STRANGLER. Beyond that, I just remember noticing it happening enough in Seattle-based movies and TV show that registered with me. It seemed that, at least for while there, that had to be an…

Thanks! (There’s a new one coming out Tuesday, btw, although it’s reportedly already showing in stores.)

And, yes, you’ve got the NYC “guest room” thing right.

The Seattle version is that every apartment has a gorgeous view of the Space Needle—just like every window in Paris looks out on the Eiffel Tower.

As for Manhattan . .. I still remember a sitcom episode in which someone living in a small Greenwich Village apartment offered to let someone stay in their “guest room.”

Come…

Seattle: Hollywood likes to imply that the Monorail is actually a mode of public transportation that ordinary people use to get around when actually it’s a glorified tourist attraction left over from the 1962 World’s Fair.

Nobody actually takes it to work or whatever . ...

Heck, we’ve had two Bushes, two Roosevelts, and two Adamses. Why not two President Carters?

And Slater also played Kal-El’s mother, Lara, on SMALLVILLE.

Adrianne Palicki can play a former presidential candidate who failed to make to the White House.

There was a great bit on Letterman years ago where Debra Winger (proving herself a good sport) stripped down to her Wonder Girl costume after hearing a cry for help!

Works for me. He was good on TEEN WOLF, playing a mentor figure, and he certainly has the look.

Okay, a RELATIVELY low profile . . . :)

She was keeping a low profile.

Honestly, I can live with this.

Just give me a magic lasso and we’re golden.

Or maybe a new TV spin-off? LAW & ORDER: LESBIAN CRIMES UNIT.

GOTHAM is on another network, and run by a completely different creative team than SUPERGIRL, so we shouldn’t assume that one predicts the other.

It should be noted that Maggie Sawyer started out as a SUPERMAN character (invented by John Byrne,if I remember correctly) before the comics shipped her off to Gotham and hooked her up with Batwoman.

As gay DC characters go, she actually predates Batwoman.

Snapper Carr? Okay, it’s official. EVERY comic-book character is getting their fifteen minutes onscreen these days.

Still waiting for Comet the Super-Horse, though.

I love this. She’s obviously having fun.

To be fair, Marvel almost immediately came to their senses, dropped that idea like a hot potato, and pretty much did their best to ignore that one stray thought balloon for decades. It was an all-but-forgotten misstep that was quickly swept under the rug.

Then somebody remembered it?

I’m crossing my fingers, but, as noted, they’ve been talking about remaking (or re-adapting) LOGAN for decades now. Remember when Bryan Singer was going to remake back in the 1990s?

Amen. Sorry, THE CONJURING, THE ORPHANAGE, you’re great, but THE DESCENT is the scariest movie I’ve seen in years.
